They dress for success. Their own costume, be it custom-built spacesuit or bottomless backpack, is directly related to their adventuresome profession. No matter the situation, these heroes are loaded with gadgets, training and expertise that'll see them through to the end. But not all game characters are created equal. A great many appear to have no practical application other than "the boss says this guy stays in the game." ...<br/>PSP featureJan 21, 2008http://www.gamesradar.com/psp/f/three-expert-beatdowns/a-20060728155827442049The game's only been out for a few days, but Tekken: Dark Resurrection is already the buzz of the PSP world. We can't get enough of it, as evidenced by our own review, but before King, Paul and the rest of the crew fade away from constant coverage, we secured three fresh videos to whet your ferocious appetites. Keep in mind that no movie or screenshot can capture how beautiful this game looks on the PSP screen... it's absolutely ...<br/>PSP featureJul 28, 2006http://www.gamesradar.com/psp/f/thrillville-developer-diaries/a-200610051888711039Sim games certainly aren't anything new. Hell, games that let you make your own theme park, and then manage every tiny detail of said park have even been around for decades. If that's the case, then what's so special about the upcoming Thrillville? Weve got the inside word straight from the developers and producers on why you're going to plop down on the couch and become the next roller coaster tycoon.

It's up to me to ensure that it stays true to the original vision - to make sure it works well overall. The idea for Thrillville came from a general feeling we had something more to offer over and above the strategy/simulation games of the past. Why should the "computer people" get all the fun? Playing mini-golf, ...<br/>PSP featureNov 17, 2006http://www.gamesradar.com/psp/f/thrillville-developer-diaries-week-six/a-20061109164410402085So, you've been given the job of making the latest and greatest theme-park game. The objective: create an authentic theme-park experience in a box. Where do you start? Jonny Watts, Senior Producer at Frontier Developments Well, a good place might be to go to a few real theme parks and see how "the competition" does it! We've made quite a few games set in theme parks over the last few years now and although it really helps that we're nuts about roller coasters and theme parks in general, ...<br/>PSP featureNov 9, 2006http://www.gamesradar.com/psp/f/thrillville-developer-diaries-week-five/a-20061102154641511074Developer Frontier has had experience creating other theme park-based games for the PC, such as RollerCoaster Tycoon 3. But Thrillville is different - it's been designed from the ground up for consoles and handhelds, including PS2, Xbox and PSP. With that comes a bevy of challenges - the most significant of those ...<br/>PSP featureNov 2, 2006http://www.gamesradar.com/psp/f/thrillville-developer-diaries-week-four/a-20061026161835122089You know that saying about the customer always being right? Yeah, that's true only so long as the customer continues to spend lots of lots of money. And if the average tourist family wants to funnel half their annual salary into your custom-built theme park, who are you to tell them they're wrong? But Thrillville lets you do more than just overcharge your visitors for cheap t-shirts, styrofoam stuffed animals and grease-brick pizzas.

Think about it: why else would everyone on the planet have a throwing up story? You've got one. We've got several. It's one of life's gross little mysteries. In fact, the only thing people love more than throwing up is almost throwing up, but not quite. Which is where amusement park rides come in.

This week, we'll be hearing the cotton candy-laced words of Senior Producer Jonny Watts, about how it feels to see someone play the game you've created - and how it makes you feel when they don't play it the way you intended. Jonny Watts, Senior Producer at Frontier Developments Weaving all of the elements of Thrillville together into one cohesive experience has at times been one of the most nerve-wracking processes in developing ...<br/>PSP featureOct 12, 2006http://www.gamesradar.com/psp/f/thrillville-developer-diaries-week-one/a-2006100517462437038Producer Shara Miller already has her hands in some of the biggest franchises you love - Mercenaries and Star Wars Battlefront II should get a million or so gamer's hearts pumping. Now she's handling Thrillville, a video theme park that enables you to build whatever attractions you like - and then ride the crap out of them. Miller chimes in for part one of our six-part series, which should shed a little more light on why this isn't another wannabe simulator.

Most everyone else on the planet can't stand or ignores it. But the fact remains that video game music draws a huge audience wherever it goes, and now GamesRadar has its own take to share. Brett Elston (Nintendo Editor), Joe McNeily (Senior Editor) and Stephen Pierce (Editorial Director) sit down with a smattering of classic video game tunes and weigh in on each song.

For all the old Tomb Raider games, Core would leak a cheat that claimed to turn Lara naked. In reality, once you'd managed to pull off the complex moves, your only reward was to watch your heroine violently explode with a scream, her arms, legs and head flying off in different directions. Gone are such innocent times, thanks to the mod scene.

Push on to The Lost World area though, and Anniversary gets Jurassic on your ass, dropping you into the path of an enraged, prehistoric Goliath with teeth like kitchen knives. And Lara takes it down with just her ...<br/>PSP featureAug 20, 2007http://www.gamesradar.com/psp/f/tomb-raider-week/a-2007031216246562075GamesRadar has been given exclusive access to an unseen level of the remake of Lara's PSone classic Tomb Raider, and later in the week we'll be bringing you world exclusive screens of the huge Egypt level and explaining how it compares to the original version.

Now we'll take you further into this awesome new Tomb Raider: Anniversary level as we wrap up our week-long preview. As the undead foes hit the ground and fade away, again the sense of isolation hits you. Everything is still again, except for the swirling sand and glistening reflections from the water around the obelisk in the middle of the courtyard.

We were given an exclusive walkthrough of the new Egypt level at Eidos' London office and came away with an excited feeling. Why excited? Well, everything we liked about Tomb Raider Legend is still there. The tight controls, the lush graphics and the brilliant physics are all in place. But now it's been given more of the things that made Tomb Raider so unique in the first place.

Today, we conclude our interview with game designer Jason Botta as he talks about the new Egypt level and the game's special bonus features. How has Egypt changed in comparison to the original game? The Egypt level is actually very, very similar to the original in the puzzles, the scope and the layout of things. Our approach to all of the levels was to go back, play look through and look at all of the areas from the original ...<br/>PSP featureMar 14, 2007http://www.gamesradar.com/psp/f/tomb-raider-anniversary-day-two/a-2007031310531595057Welcome to Part 2 of our Tomb Raider Anniversary coverage. Crystal Dynamics game designer Jason Botta is ready to talk us through the changes the team has made to one of the original Tomb Raider's most memorable levels - the Lost Valley. Bring your dino-hunting hat... How has the Lost Valley changed from the original game?
